Backyard.

Qin Huaidao looked at the void in the distance and was silent, letting the cold wind blow his face, blowing up his robe, his cold eyes were bright and sharp, and he was silent for a long time.

The two girls quietly accompanied them, enjoying this rare three-person world.

After a while, Qin Huaidao said: "The time is not ripe enough, it is not good for us to force the Holy Lord to agree, although I am not afraid, but there is no need to make trouble about this matter, anyway, it is not a big deal, I will coordinate it first, if it doesn't work, it will be a day late, and if you come together, it is equivalent to doing it together." ”

"It works." Li Xueyan agreed.

He'er also agreed: "It's better to be separated, it seems to be valued, who doesn't want to be the only one on the day, multiple people, it seems a bit child's play, not enough attention." ”

"Really?" Qin Huaidao was a little surprised, but quickly reacted that it was now the Tang Dynasty, valuing fame and fame, unlike the collective weddings of later generations, which might attract jokes, so he no longer insisted, and advised: "He'er, you are also an elder, and Luo Zhang's marriage will be handled by you." ”

"No problem, no accident is guaranteed." Seeing that Qin Huaidao trusted him so much, He'er felt sweet in her heart, and seeing that Li Xueyan was not dissatisfied, she thought of something, and said with a wry smile: "That's it, the seniority is a little messy." ”

"It's okay, let's go our separate ways." Qin Huaidao didn't care.

At this time, someone came over outside the courtyard gate: "Young master, Wang Xuance is here." ”

The inner courtyard is a forbidden place, and no one dares to break in, so they can only report at the door.

"Let him wait in the drawing room." Qin Huaidao replied, explained a few words to the two girls, left in a hurry, and soon came to the reception room.

"King Han!" Wang Xuance stood up and made a move.

"Sit down and talk." Qin Huaidao made an invitation gesture and immediately sat down in the main seat.

Wang Xuance sat down again, got along for a while, and already knew what Qin Huaidao's temper was, and said bluntly: "King Han, when I came over, I saw a person who claimed to be Ma Sanguan bringing a batch of silver, and he had arranged for people to wait in the side room, I came to ask King Han about the claim What should I do next?" ”

"Ma Sanguan is the head of the department store, the silver is compensation, and the king will arrange for someone to receive it for a while, this matter will end here, and the merchants who assist in this matter will focus on taking care of the business in the future, and those homeless people will be withdrawn."

"There are a lot of displaced people, how to resettle? Or do you want to give each of you a little money and send it home? Wang Xuance asked.

"One person gives two pieces of silver, no matter how big or small, it is enough for everyone to go back to survive this winter, the young, those with sharp legs and feet can hire them to run errands, the market will be reopened, and the department store will belong to us in the future, and it will also be reopened, so as not to have nothing to eat for the people of Chang'an, and the price on both sides will be the same."

Wang Xuance was excited when he heard that the department store was the king of Han, and this battle was a big victory, but he didn't ask for details, and promised: "Great, on New Year's Day, the people in Chang'an City are worried about not being able to buy things, and they are complaining, so that the problem is solved, and the homeless people are also benevolent and righteous in this arrangement, and each person has two runs, which is enough for everyone to live, but I am afraid that there will be insufficient food and vegetables." ”

"Let those merchants who are close to us go to other places to purchase, the silver is not enough for us to give, give them two percent of the profit, many people should be willing to do it, so that there will be no worries about food and vegetables, but you remember, no matter procurement, buying and selling, you can only use vouchers." Qin Huaidao solemnly admonished.

Having done so much, in addition to striking opponents, it is more important to popularize credentials.

Financial warfare is king.

Wang Xuance also understood the reasoning, and promised with a mouthful: "King Han rest assured, I guarantee that nothing goes wrong, but there is an extra department store that needs to be operated, and there are not enough people, can you send some to help?" ”

"You recruit yourself, find some people you can trust, form your own team, and then hand over all the business and trade to you, recruit ten people first, and then slowly increase, as for the treatment, in principle, it shall not be higher than the other party's existing treatment three times, and those with outstanding ability can be appropriately improved."

Wang Xuance heard that he could form his own team, and he would be in charge of commerce and trade in the future, this is a fat shortage, not absolutely credible people will not, this is a kind of recognition, but also a heavy trust, his heart was happy, and he said solemnly: "King Xie Han trusts, and the lower officials also know many officials who are not aspiring in the court, just because their background is not enough, there is no one in the court, and they are not good at power, monopoly, but there is no shortage of talent, only lack of opportunities, and they must be willing to come." ”

"As long as you can trust it and think it can be used, you can win it over, but do it in a hidden place, don't make a big fuss, it's hard to explain to the court." Qin Huaidao agreed.

After chatting for a while, Wang Xuance hurriedly left the mansion and returned to the courtyard, seeing that the hall was full of various gifts, and his wife and children were cleaning up, he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Lang Jun is back, this is Mrs. He'er brought someone to send it, saying that it is a New Year's Day gift, and everyone around King Han has it, by the way, he also sent this month's Yulu, a full thousand runs, and a thousand pieces of happy money, saying that it is a New Year's Day red envelope, New Year's Day knows, what does this red envelope mean? I heard Mrs. He'er say that it was requested by the King of Han. ”

Wang Xuance didn't know what a red envelope was, his heart was full of shock, Yu Lu hadn't said much before, and he was not embarrassed to ask, thinking that it would be very great to have more than a dozen runs, and there were so many of the three grades in the court, but he didn't expect to give a thousand runs, and a thousand runs.

That's too much, right?

The next moment, a deep sense of gratitude came to his heart, and he looked in the direction of the top of the mountain and muttered to himself: "The king treats him as a countryman, and he will repay him as a countryman, and he will never dare to take it!" ”

The voice was firm, as if it were an oath.

"King Han is benevolent and righteous, and he really can't be negative." Mrs. Wang Xuance also said solemnly.

"Mrs. slowly cleaned up, for her husband to go out, King Han just entrusted him with a heavy task, let him recruit talents for his husband, form a team, and be responsible for business and trade in the future, King Han is so benevolent and righteous, he can't slack off for his husband, live up to his trust, he must get things done today, he can't match you."

"Go ahead, business matters, be careful on the road, my mother and I are safe here, don't worry."

Wang Xuance smiled gratefully, hugged his child, turned to leave, his steps were firm and steady, and soon disappeared into the vast snow.

Qin Huaidao didn't know Wang Xuance's gratitude, and after receiving the compensation and the deed of the department store, he ate hot pot with his family in the backyard.

During the meal, the department store was explained in detail, and the two girls didn't expect that it was really King Wei behind them, and they didn't expect King Wei to actually negotiate peace and admit it, Li Xueyan couldn't help but remind: "Lang Jun, King Wei seems to be easy-going, but the city is very deep, his personality is arrogant, and he will repay it. ”

He'er's eyes flashed: "Yes, the peace should be trying to stabilize us and cover for other things." ”

Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "I also think of this, but it doesn't matter, why don't you want silver?" That's a million runs, just to solve a problem, and then fight back when he tries to see the dagger, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracy methods are jokes, not to mention that he may not be rushing at us. ”

"Something else? King Jin? Li Xueyan blurted out, and immediately thought of the battle for the national capital, but she didn't dare to say it, this guess was too bold and amazing.

Qin Huaidao smiled without saying a word, and nodded slightly in acquiescence.

He'er was not politically sensitive enough and didn't think too deeply, but she keenly grasped another key point and asked: "Young master, what kind of problem, do you need silver?" I'll spare some for you. ”

"One million is enough, Snow Goose, Flying Pigeon passed the book, let Luo Ying take two battalions of people to come over and pull the silver away immediately." Qin Huaidao said and looked at Li Xueyan, a large number of weapons, grenades, mines, heavy armor, etc. were built on the side of Chashan, and a sum of silver was taken away last time, but it was far from enough, but this matter was too sensitive, and no one could say it.

Li Xueyan didn't ask too much, and said yes.

After the meal, Qin Huaidao plunged into the special workshop, and the grenadier was built into a key component, which is also the most difficult and important component - seamless steel pipe.

Seamless steel pipes are indispensable for grenadier barrels, and those with seams cannot be used, but the craftsmanship of this era lacks machines, and no one understands seamless steel pipe manufacturing, so Qin Huaidao can only study it himself and build it by hand.

Fortunately, the general process knows that it is nothing more than heating the round steel pipe billet first, and then perforating, rolling, reheating, sizing, heat treatment, straightening, inspection, and repair, but it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do.

There is a way to heat the billet of the pipe, the burning is finished, and the perforation is not impossible to solve, it needs a steel of the right size, hardness and toughness enough, one end is sharpened, similar to the drill bit, the billet becomes soft after heating, as long as the force is large enough, the drill bit can perforate the billet.

However, perforation will lead to the deformation of the hot billet, so it is necessary to tie the pipe, that is, the two rollers are fixed, so that the hot billet passes through the middle of the roller, and the roller also rotates to reduce friction.

After perforating and piercing the pipe, a preliminary seamless steel pipe is formed, and then heated, more directional wheels are needed to be stuck, so that the steel pipe passes through the middle, which can play a role in fixing the radial direction of the steel pipe, also called sizing.

After sizing, it is straightened, the principle is almost the same, and it also needs to be heated to make the steel pipe slightly softer, and then pass through the rows of fixed rollers to ensure that the front and back are straight, and then cut off the head and tail, check the details, see if there is centrifugation, deformation, cracking and other phenomena, and pick out the available ones to do flaw detection and repair.

Therefore, the most difficult part of the whole process is the roller, fixed wheel, etc.

Everything can only be made by hand, groping for it.

Fortunately, Qin Huaidao's hands-on ability is extremely high, so he calmed down and polished slowly.

Time is ticking.
